How to Watch Cranston Western in the Little League World Series

As the Cranston Western Little League team settles in and starts practice in Williamsport, Penn., fans across New England are getting their rally caps and DVRs ready.

The team, which finished the 2015 Little League Baseball New England Regional Tournament with a 4-1 record, outscored opponents 33-14.

The team begins play on Friday, Aug. 21 at 4 p.m. at Lamade Stadium against the Southeast Region Champion, Northwood Little League from Taylors, South Carolina.

The game will be broadcast on ESPN, but it can also be watched live on the web HERE. A full TV schedule can be found here.

The tournament is double-elimination, meaning that teams are eliminated from the world series after two losses.

Over 10 days, 32 games will be played between the eight American and eight international teams that qualified for the tournament.

The Championship game is slated for 3 p.m. on Sunday, August 30.

Patch will be reporting on the team through the series. Are you going to Williamsport to cheer on the team? I’m looking for someone to send a couple of photos and tidbits from the series. If you’re interested, send an email to mark.schieldrop@patch.com
